Liu Ye has been in the entertainment industry for many years and his acting skills are unquestionable. If Jiang Se appears in front of him in this way, he is likely to be crushed by him.
Zhao Rang believed that Jiang Se should be clear that the opportunity for her to meet Liu Ye this time was obtained by Xia Chaoqun, but she still opened in this way. Either she was too confident in herself, or she was too arrogant.
Zhao Rang has known Jiang Se for a long time and they have worked together more than once. He has some understanding of her character. She is not an arrogant person. She dares to play Zhang Yuqin in front of Liu Ye. She must have her own bottom line. Zhao Rang clenched his fists, feeling a little nervous.
The next moment Liu Ye reacted and quickly joined in the act.
Needless to say, Liu Ye got into the role very quickly. He sat there with his waist bent and his back shrunk, looking downcast. His eyes glanced sideways, and when the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, there was a hint of frightening viciousness in his expression.
With this look, he is worthy of being the best candidate chosen by Zhao Rang to play Luo Shen in "The Devil". With the corners of his mouth turned down, he is still the same person, with neatly combed hair and bright clothes. However, because of a few small changes in his movements, the overall feeling of Liu Ye changed suddenly.
The person who appeared in front of Zhao Rang at this moment seemed to be the murderer who walked out of "The Devil" alive. He was looking coldly at every corner of the world and observing carefully. He was as humble as dust, and his malice was hidden in his double eyelids.
This acting is simply amazing!
Zhao Rang had also seen Liu Ye's movies, but watching them on the big screen was completely different from the feeling of sitting next to him at this moment. He was not wearing any makeup at the moment, but his aura was enough to infect people. He looked at Jiang Se with some worry, fearing that Jiang Se would be timid and back down when facing Liu Ye's acting skills.
But she did not end this impromptu performance in embarrassment. What surprised Zhao Rang was that the feeling she brought out was not inferior to Liu Ye at all.
She bent her back, her steps were a little unsteady, a few strands of hair hung on the sides of her face. In the alternation between light and darkness, her eyes were mysterious and full of hidden resentment. Her brows were furrowed, but the corners of her mouth were stretched, forming a smile that was uglier than crying.
Just by looking at this look, she is not inferior to Liu Ye, not to mention that when she was speaking the lines, she grasped the erratic tone of a desperate woman very well.
Her thin figure intensified the torture that life had brought her, her messy hair showed her negligence of her appearance, her frowned brows carried silent grief on her face, and there was a kind of heart-wrenching despair lingering around her, as if there was no redemption.
When Jiang Se's eyes met Liu Ye's, Zhao Rang was so stimulated that the hairs on her back stood up. When facing Liu Ye's gaze, she did not dodge or act out of character. Instead, she did not lose the upper hand at all.
She walked around Liu Ye, her footsteps changing from heavy at first to hesitant and then brisk. These three different levels of footsteps expressed the protagonist's inner feelings. She said in a trembling voice, as if relieved and crying:
"I've been looking for you for a long time."
Anyone who heard it could feel the complex feelings in her heart at this moment. She was like a lost traveler who finally found her destination. Her eyes were red and watery, but she was smiling.
"Looking for me?" Liu Ye coughed twice and raised his head:
"Is there anything I can fix?"
As he spoke, his hands kept moving, simulating the act of measuring.
In the play, Luo Shen is an elderly tailor who makes a living by sewing and mending things for others.
At this moment, there was nothing in front of Liu Ye. This was an office with bright decorative lines, not the cramped and shabby room of Luo Shen in the plot. But while he was talking, his feet had already started to step on the sewing machine, while he lowered his head and pretended to knit clothes. Even with the shaking of the sewing machine, his body was shaking slightly, and his hair was shaking. This scene was so realistic that it easily brought people into the play.
Jiang Se glanced at him and made a move to go around the sewing machine. Her action made Liu Ye raise his eyelids, and then he lowered his head again.
She walked around to the sofa and sat down. When she sat down, she leaned against the armrest of the sofa. This action showed that she was very vigilant. She raised her arm and threw a package of things onto the sewing machine. "Please mend these things for me."
Liu Ye paused and reached out to open the package. The more he unwrapped it, the slower his movements became. There was a sinister look in his eyes, as if he had thought of something. He was a little excited, but also a little out of control. His breathing became heavy.
Jiang Se looked at him with a smile, then lowered his head, raised his eyebrows with a smile, raised his wrist to wipe the corner of his eyes, and asked gently:
“Can these things be repaired?”
"Okay." After a while, he nodded, his voice a little hoarse:
"Thirty dollars will do."
In front of him was a pile of filthy clothes, stained with blood and dirt. His chest heaved at the sight, and he couldn't help but reach out to touch them.
"These things can be used to make up for the pain, but what about the human heart?" Jiang Se pointed to his chest:
"If it's broken here, can it be repaired?"
After she said this, Liu Ye slowly raised his head.
When he looked at people, his eyeballs turned upwards, which made it seem like there was too much white in his eyes. He looked extremely depressed and eerie.
The two people's eyes collided in the air, the atmosphere gradually solidified, and that heaviness and sinisterness filled everyone's heart.
"Cut!" Zhao Rang's sudden excited shout interrupted the eye contact between the two. He was so excited that he kept rubbing his hands. Just now, he was also brought into the role by Liu Ye and Jiang Se. In a trance, he thought he was in the theater. Seeing the two performing just right, he couldn't help but shout for a stop.
As soon as Zhao Rang finished shouting, he realized that he was not on the set but in Liu Ye's office. However, after realizing that he had made a fool of himself, he did not feel embarrassed but became more excited.
In the previous performance, Liu Ye's acting skills are beyond words, but when Jiang Se was acting with him, he was not suppressed by him. Instead, he felt that he was on par with him.
Jiang Se's performance started with body language, which strengthened the psychological suggestion. At that moment just now, whether it was the tone or expression when she spoke, she gave people the feeling that she was Zhang Yuqin, who had gone through great pains to find the enemy who killed her daughter. There was no problem with props and lighting because she was not wearing makeup or because she was in Liu Ye's office. She easily brought people into her emotions with her highly infectious performance!
Zhao Rang recalled the first time she joined her own crew to film "The Ninety-Ninth Love Letter". Although she was hardworking, her acting skills were obviously lacking and awkward.
She is not a professional actor, but why has she made such great progress in just over a year, acting opposite Liu Ye without losing out? (To be continued)
